A.N. Here is the fifth chapter. I hope you all like the action scenes and that it wasn't to bland or cliche.


Aliyah narrowly avoided the blue fist that tried to squish. She looked at the blue troll that was trying to fight her and the green goblins. It was bad enough she had to fight with a damaged arm but having to handle dozens of small green monsters while avoiding a giant blue one was too much. She probably should have just gone with Eli and smack any monsters that followed with a trash can while the big blue troll got eaten by the goblins.

Aliyah kicked another Goblin into the wall before sidestepping to avoid being rolled over by the troll.

"You've got a lot of nerve showing your face here impure." The blue troll hissed at her.

"So you can talk." Aliyah responded before realizing what else the troll said,When d also who, you calling impure you over grown pile of asphalt." Aliyah shouted at the son of Kanjigar.

"I am Draal, son of Kanjigar and the new trollhunter." Draal huffed at her proudly. It didn't matter to him that he didn't have the amulet yet, surely it would have chosen him after all his years of training and dedication to the role, so he might as well let the filthy changeling know of who it was dealing with.

"Sorry." Aliyah responded before grabbing a goblin with one hand and pelting him with enough force to knock down several others behind Draal. "But I don't know a Kenji-jar or a trollhunter. The only hunters I have ever heard were dragon hunters and they were bad news the last time I checked." Aliyah continued as she did a series of flips and squished Goblins under her boots with each landing. On the last flip, she slid with all the goblin slime that had accumulated on her boots and feel forward landing on her back. As she tried to get up, the Goblins realized their opening and started to jump on top of her as they began to pile up. Aliyah's eyes turned to slits before she opened her mouth and released the burning sensation from her throat.

Draal had seen and done a lot of things in his life, but he never expected this. A huge stream of fire shot up from a pile of Goblins that had just dog piled the changeling. Several Goblins had been burnt to a crisp while others just recoiled from the heat. When he looked at the changeling he saw that her face was indeed u touched by the flames and even more surprising was the fact that she had a fire burning in her mouth. 'A fire breathing changeling, that's a new one,' Draal thought to himself, 'what's next, they grow wings.' Draal watched as she spewed fire down her body leaving her clothes burnt but also cremating the goblins that were holding her. As the changeling girl tried to stand up, Draal noticed that she was holding her left arm tightly. 'She must be really stupid, challenging me to a fight with her arm injured.' Draal thought before something else clicked in his head. 'Wait a minute, why would a changeling girl risk fighting a troll and a pack of goblins, while injured.' Draal thought remembering his previous encounters with the deceitful impures.

Aliyah gripped her arm tight trying to shield it from any more goblins that may try and attack it. This was really a stupid idea on her part, fighting while injured, out of practice and only using a trash can lid as her weapon. The potion only recently wearing off wasn't helping her case either. If she ever lived through this, she was pretty sure Ramsey would kill her for her recklessness.

Aliyah looked around as the Goblins began to circle her. They were weary of her. She concluded that it must have been from a fire breathe; it was evident on their faces that they must have never encountered a being like her before. She was thankful for their naïve nature. If they had known she had a shot limit for how many times she could spew fire then the little creatures might figure out a strategy to make her waste her shots. It would be a fool's error to underestimate the green skinned monsters. Aliyah had known had witnessed first hand creatures that were often seen as mindless by man easily outsmart the humans.

Aliyah looked around think of any solutions where she could escape this. She was highly doubtful that the blue troll could beat all the goblins, but maybe he could lure contain them enough for her to burn them all. It was a risky plan since she didn't know if she could sustain a fire for a long enough period of time but it was all she could think off and with that Aliyah made her way over to the blue troll.

Draal cursed under his breath, 'Vendel is going to kill me.' Draal thought, as he continued to fight off the goblins. Draal considered the idea of running back to Trollmarket to avoid the old goat's wrath, but there were two things wrong with that plan. The first was the fact that all these goblins were here and would most likely follow him back as well as the fire breathing changeling. The second was that he couldn't just leave all these Goblins here; they would probably steal the amulet or alert Bular that he was around. He was shook out of his thoughts by the fire breather who was slowly approaching him.

"What do you want impure?" He said as they both struggled against the goblins. Aliyah was frustrated with troll's behavior but bit her tongue before she could retort.

"I need you to contain them." Aliyah shouted, as she took one Goblin and used him as weapon to swat off several others. The make shift Goblin weapons was useful...till the arms separated themselves from the body.

"Why exactly should I listen to you?" Draal asked.

"Do you have a better idea?" Aliyah asked.

Draal was about to open his mouth to speak, but decided against it.

"Good. Start rolling again only this time do it in a circle around us." Aliyah told him. Draal grumbled at the thought of having to take orders from the changeling but did it anyway. He rolled out to the end of the Goblin horde and began to encircle the area. As he picked up speed it became more likely that the Goblins had now been trapped in Draal's makeshift prison, as if any of them tried to escaped, they would have been squished.

The Goblins turned their attention back to Aliyah who was already running towards the edge of the circle. Using all the strength in her legs she managed to jump over the edge narrowly avoiding being struck by Draal. Now free, Aliyah scaled up the sides of the storm drain and made her way up to the bridge. When she looked down she saw the small area that Draal was encircling, and all the Goblins being held in it. Taking a deep breath, Aliyah let the warmth in her throat build as her fire started to burn. She then looked at the Goblin horde and spewed a huge stream of fire. The Goblins tried to escape but it was safe to say they failed as the area was engulfed in flames, Draal included. Aliyah kept the fire burning for good half a minute before body stopped spewing. She gasped for airs as it had taken a lot out of her to fire breathe for so long.

As she was catching her breath she failed to notice the angry blue troll rolling up to her. It was only moments after she was struck did the girl realized what happened. Draal had rolled right into her and was now holding her against the edge of the bridge.

"You tried to kill me impure." Draal shouted at her angrily.

"You give me too much credit; it would have taken far too long to actually melt stone." Aliyah retorted just barely resisting the urge to collapse from the strain her body was being pit through. Before Draal could even respond to her, a bright light flashed to the side of them. Realizing that it could have been a human passing in their car, Draal jumped over the bridge and hung on to the beams underneath to hide all the while leaving Aliyah on top.

Aliyah could feel the adrenaline rush from the fight fading as the blue troll left. In any other situation she would have immediately run for cover, being fully aware of how anybody would react to her current state, but right now she was too tired to care. She could spare a few minutes rest right. If any problem occurred she could let her instincts take over and kill any witnesses. "Okay, if I'm considering murder now, then I definitely need my potion... Or maybe sleep. Sleep sounds good right now." Aliyah though to herself as she saw her world fade to black, blissfully unaware of the middle age man in a brown suit picking her up and placing her in is car. The stranger drives off leaving Draal under the bridge. When the car was a safe distance away the stranger pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello. Yeah its me. It looks like we have an unexpected guess. No don't inform Bular, not until after I talk to her. Yes a room would be nice. Okay bye." The man spoke into the phone and then hung up. He then looked over the child. "Don't worry young one, you're safe now." He said as he drove them back to the Janus order, completely unaware of the glowing red stone stuck in the girl's hair.


Eli's eyes snapped open as he jolted forward. He was in his bed, at home, not under the bridge with Aliyah or the creepers. He passed his hand through his hair as he tried to make sense of what had happened. He had gone to the bridge with Aliyah. The encountered these little green monsters with...mustaches, then they were being chased and after the rounded the corner...everything went black.

"Was it all just a dream?" Eli asked himself, as he got out of bed, it couldn't be right. Just to be safe Eli looked around for his phone to call Aliyah, but he couldn't find it.

"That's weird." Eli said, "I could have sworn that it was right here."

The memories from earlier that day sunk in, Aliyah had thrown her phone at the creepers and must have taken his own. The young boy made his way to his computer with the new I to at hand, true it was info based on what he thought was a dream but what was the worst that could happen. If she did have it, then the quickest way to find her and his phone would be to use a website to locate the phone. The idea was a success... sort of. He found his phone located in the middle of town, but the signal was abruptly cut off.

"Huh."

Eli tried again, but the signal was not even locateable now. Persistent as ever Eli then resorted to doing the most logical thing he could have thought of...hacking into the city's surveillance system to see just where his phone and by extension Aliyah was. To his surprise it was a travel agency, what would his phone and his friend be doing at a travel agency was beyond him. He wrote down the name of the travel agency, if anything, he could always stop by tomorrow and ask around. Eli would have continued looking further into the travel agency had his mom not called him. He would have protested to continue his work, but he was too tired now. Eli left his computer and went downstairs to meet his mother and man did he regret it. Apparently he was attacked by a pack of wild raccoons, at least that's what his mother told him and one of the school's staff members had found him and brought him home. Turns out it was Nurse Ramsey so he didn't need a trip to the hospital.

While Eli was away monitor, a car pulled up onscreen, in front of the travel agency. A woman in purple dress came out of the travel agency to greet the driver. The driver and the woman then proceed to carry an unconscious girl inside.


Hope you all like it. For those of you who have already reviewed, I would like to say thanks, it means a lot when you get responses. Second you all are right about aliyah not being a changeling. She is in fact a lycanwing as the title states. As in she is a human that can turn into a dragon.
